It is ironic (that i used a toaster instead of an iron) 😝
The toaster in this image came about because i truly tried to make a toaster. In America. To compete with China.
Even with free labor, and free metal recycled from tin cans, i couldn't compete with Wallymart prices.
Then i found out how rigged this game was. It was not just scale, but there was subsidies in many levels of this market. China has to make AND SHIP the toaster for $1 for it to end up in Wallymart for $10. You and i can't even get the electrical parts for that price. And we can't ship it to someone else in America for that price.
